I pill delay periods for how many days

Do ipill delay periods? How effective is an ipill tablet when taken between 48-72 hours? And for how long can they delay periods and when should I opt for a preg. Test? After sex, she got her periods after 3-4 days (for 3 days which is normal in her case) and they were painless this time with clots. Was that the withdrawal bleeding? It's been a month and 7 days since last that last bleeding and she hasn't got her periods yet. Is it a possible pregnancy? (p.s sex happened on the day she was supposed to get her periods)

Does ipill delay periods? Yes if taken properly as prescribed periods delay due to ipill. The effectiveness of the i-pill decreases the longer you wait to take it and taking it within 48-72 hours is the most effective time frame.If your concerned do a pregnancy test around 2-3 weeks after the date of the last unprotected intercourse. This will give the most accurate result.

Yes, taking an i-pill can cause a delay in periods by a few days. However, the effectiveness of i-pill decreases if taken after 72 hours of unprotected sex. It is recommended to take a pregnancy test after a week of missed periods to confirm or rule out pregnancy. The bleeding that your friend experienced for 3-4 days after taking i-pill is a common side effect.

Delayed menstrual period is definitely a side effect due to the use of emergency contraception, such as i-pill. It loses its power with time and is less effective one day to three days after engaging in unprotected sex. The fact that your partner started bleeding shortly after taking the pill could have been from withdrawal bleeding very different from a regular period. Since it’s already more than a month with no regular period, so pregnancy test needs to be taken for clarity. However, keep in mind that menstrual irregularities are common after taking emergency contraception and do not imply pregnancy.

Was given cyclogest 10 weeks pregnant light bleed

Female | 27

If you find, while on Cyclogest, that there is mild bleeding and you are ten weeks into the pregnancy then you must be observant. There are times when a little bleeding might occur during the early stages of pregnancy and this could be attributed to several causes such as implantation, hormonal changes, or infections. To get further advice and assessment done, it would be best if you get in touch with your doctor immediately. Meanwhile, rest, drink water, and look after yourself.

From past 2 days ,Burning and itching sensation in vagina, right side of labia majaro is swollen little

Female | 30

Itching and burning sensations could indicate a yeast infe­ction. This condition occurs when yeast multiplies exce­ssively. One-sided swe­lling may also suggest an infection. Hormonal shifts, antibiotic usage, or a we­akened immune syste­m can also contribute to yeast overgrowth. Fortunate­ly, over-the-counter cre­ams, and pills effectively tre­at yeast infections. Maintaining cleanline­ss and dryness in the affecte­d region is crucial for preventing furthe­r irritation.

I had protected sex on 4feb and condom didn't break and 28 was my period date on 2march I got light bleeding and 3rd and 4th March flow was there is there any chance of pregnancy or not

Female | 24

Sometimes, light blee­ding around menstruation can happen due to implantation. This is whe­n a fertilized egg attache­s to the uterus lining. Not eve­ryone experie­nces implantation bleeding, but it's possible­. No need to worry exce­ssively. However, if unce­rtain, take a pregnancy test for re­assurance. Stress also impacts menstrual cycle­s.

Hello dr my name is dhruvisha Katariya. I am 20 year old. I had sex with my partner a day ago. We also used protection. Now my period date It has come. But my periods have not come.

Female | 20

It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.

Female | 30

Ovulation can happen even in women with hemorrhagic cysts but look at the size and the kind of cyst. It is always advised to see a gynecologist who is an expert when it comes to cysts for a thorough examination and treatment plan. Please take prescribed drugs and go for regular check-ups
